Great

Hired him for a criminal case and he was informative about judge's , pleas and different outcomes of my case. I would recommend him for any criminal matter.

Phenomenal!! Very professional and a great lawyer to have in your corner!!

I was beyond all reason. I had no clue where to start. My marriage was done. Never had seen it coming..Mr. Doug Spiegel took my case, even in the mental state I came to him in--and reminded me it was like any other negotiation, he took the burden and stress,and said "we just need to go thru the proce...ss". He and his staff kept me very well informed throughout the entire case. I was emailed everything that was received, court date on the docket, and more often than most...I appreciate the honesty, knowledge and experience...(Can't say some of it -I didn't really want to hear.) He has shown kindness and empathy shown in my time of crisis which I will always be grateful. I am very fortunate to have Douglas E. Spiegel as my attorney and I gladly would recommend hiring him and his office if you have a need for family attorney, as a matter of fact, I do, all the time!

Superb attorney!

An amazing lawyer!! He is personable, knowledgeable and trustworthy. You know right away he is not out to just bill you as many hours as he can, but he wants to understand your issue and provide you honest feedback regarding your options. He also helps you understand your rights under the law, which ...was extremely helpful to me because all the different legalities can be very confusing. He guides you through the process and delivers results. He did a wonderful job assisting us and we are very thankful. Superb attorney! A winner that delivers results!

Best attorney you can ever hire!

I hired mr Spiegel form my difficult divorce. I have one of the most difficult contested divorces there is in ftmyers .This attorney is not only caring about you, but fights till the end. He is the best in the field! He knows the game and will try to win no matter how hard your case is.He very knowle...dgable,and the best attorney in the world! Hard worker and he don't quit until he is satisfied! I have hired other attorneys who did nothimg for me in the past for other problems I have had and all they did was take my money and not do anything for me. He really cares about his clients and their outcome! I extremely recommend mr Spiegel for any and all divorce cases you might encounter. He is excellent and I can't thank him more for all he is doing for me. I can only hope that anyone in a position like mine or worse would do the best thing for themselves and hiring this attorney you will not be disappointed.
